ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – The Denver Broncos traded out of the
first round of the NFL draft Thursday night.
The Broncos owned the 25th overall selection and traded down
twice, leaving them without a first-rounder for the first time
since 2005. The Broncos initially traded down six spots, acquiring the 31st
overall pick and a fourth-rounder (No. 126 overall) from New
England for the 25th selection. Then, they sent both of those picks to Tampa Bay for the Buccaneers’ second-rounder, No. 36 overall, and the 101st
selection, in the fourth round. So, the Broncos will be picking fourth when the draft resumes Friday night.
